Went to have a new tyre put on my beefa and found the back tyre almost bold!!! couldnt believe it, you cant check it easily as my cars soo low lol hadnt noticed, bit p*ssed off with the tyre com[any not warning me as they fitted a new one about a month ago. Off the road for a few days

That will be because your car has been lowered and the castor/camber not being changed. Needs 4-way aligning and setting up correctly. Dunno if you can get castor/camber adjuster kits for these. Does anyone know. Did it run the inner edge of the tyre off?

you can't adjust the rears as far as I know. I just got the front camber and tracking done

 

[Black TDI Turbo]

I know the front can be done because of the way the strut is bolted to the hub with two bolts.

yeah theres quite a bit of adjustment in it. I took mine to a garage that does rally cars, they had a portable machine to do camber and tracking. they adjusted the settings to as close to standard as they could get, seems ok and handles much better. It might be a plan to raise it a bit if its really low.

had simular issue - i had a flat on passenger rear and i didnt notice any change in driving - its only when i turned a corner i heard it - but i had 2 massive rips on the inside - each one was about 12inches long - close shave

ive had all the balancing done properly all wheels are now 0,0 bearing in mind i have coilovers not standard suspension, but 2x tyres 195/45/r16 £30 off a mate bargain

it cost me £80 for 205/40/ZR17 84W - that hurt - to think i will need to buy another 3 more in about 8 months time!
